This is a developer-focused release, and it’s a seed of the API in development, with the primary intent of collecting feedback from developers who will be using the API to create new contact tracing and notification apps on behalf of public health agencies.

Apple and Google first announced the combined API and eventual system-level contact tracing feature on April 10, and intend to release the first version of the API publicly in mid-May, with system-level integration to follow in the coming months. The tech is designed to be privacy-preserving, ensuring that contact IDs are rotating and randomized, and never tied to an individual’s specific identifying information.

While Facebook’s ad revenues in Q1 increased by 17% year-over-year growth, Facebook used its earnings announcement to hedge expectations for Q2. In its release, the company said it saw “a significant reduction in the demand for advertising, as well as a related decline in the pricing of our ads, over the last three weeks of the first quarter of 2020.”

Microsoft announced a slew of updates to various parts of its Microsoft 365 ecosystem. The thrust is to make life easier for the IT admins that help provision and manage corporate Windows — and Mac — machines, something that’s even more important as many companies try to adapt to a new work-from-home environment.

None of this should come as a surprise. Twitter announced more than a month ago that it was removing its own financial guidance because of the instability of its business due to COVID-19, noting only that it would be lower than expected.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Season 4 release: Is this when Warzone Season 4 comes out? – Express

A new Call of Duty Modern Warfare Season 4 update is in the works but developers Infinity Ward has yet to confirm when they plan to release it.

The original date was set for June 3, 2020, across all platforms, with new weapons and a Battle Pass expected.

There have been rumours that Season 4 could also include some significant changes for the Verdansk map, none of which have been confirmed by Activision.

But having announced its plans to launch Season 4 of Modern Warfare during June, there has been no news regarding what the new date will be.

The most recent statement from Infinity Ward reads: “While we all look forward to playing the new seasons of Modern Warfare, Warzone and Call of Duty: Mobile, now is not the time.

“We are moving the launches of Modern Warfare Season 4 and Call of Duty: Mobile Season 7 to later dates.

“Right now it’s time for those speaking up for equality, justice and change to be seen and heard. We stand alongside you.”

But while there has been no concrete news on when Call of Duty Modern Warfare Season 4 will begin, a new leak suggests it’s being scheduled for this week.

It should be noted that this information comes from data miners and has not been confirmed yet by Activision or Infinity Ward.

The news shared through Modern Warzone suggests that Call of Duty Modern Warfare and COD Warzone Season 4 will be released late Pacific time on June 9.

This would mean that the new Warzone update will be available to download and install at around 7am GMT, on June 10, in the UK.

This is the same pattern used by developers Infinity Ward for previous patch releases and would be going live at a quieter time, to help with server strain.

However, until Activision shares its official plans, this remains speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt.

While things may have been updated in the Call of Duty game files, that doesn’t mean Activision won’t choose to change things again.

Fans believe that when Season 4 does arrive, some areas of the map might be altered dramatically on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

This could include The Dam being destroyed, affecting other areas of the Verdansk map, with data miners reporting finding new sound files of ice cracking, among other things.

A range of new weapons, skins and maps are also expected to arrive as part of the Modern Warfare bundle.

This will reportedly include new melee weapons, although it’s unclear if these will come to both Modern Warfare and Warzone.

Developers Infinity Ward has yet to provide its plans for the coming weeks, or when they will share official patch notes.

New Playlist changes could also be on the cards, with Duos expected to stick around for a while.

A number of other Playlists for Warzone have also leaked, including one that allows you to start with your own loadout, another that features the gas always moving, and another that makes the gas always progress faster than a player.

Another that could replace the current lineup is one that allows dead players to duke it out in the Gulag until the final three circles, with no buybacks allowed.‬

Activision is expected to share official news via a new blog post when we get closer to the rescheduled release date of Call of Duty Season 4.

Some iPhone 11 models display a green tint after unlocking – Engadget

A number of iPhone users are seeing a strange green tint on their devices’ displays for a few seconds after unlocking, and it’s still unclear what’s causing the phenomenon. Based on the complaints posted on Reddit and the MacRumors forum, the most affected devices are the ‌iPhone 11‌, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. However, some iPhone X and XS users seem to be experiencing the issue, as well.

Several users are saying that the green tint only shows up when they have Dark Mode and Night Shift on or if they’re in dark room. Affected users are also reporting that the issue popped up after iOS 13.4 came out, though there are those who’ve only noticed it after upgrading to iOS 13.5. At least one user says the green tint disappeared upon installing iOS 13.5.5, which is currently in beta, so it’s looking more likely that it’s a software issue. We’ve reached out to Apple for a statement and will update you when we hear back — if it is a software issue, then the tech giant is bound to roll out an update that’ll fix it in the future.

New release date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 4 has been leaked – PCGamesN

The rescheduled date for the next season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Season 4, has been leaked. The turnover from Season 3 had been delayed so as to not overshadow or contend with the global protests surrounding racial injustice.

Through data-mining the files of Season 3, per ModernWarzone, Twitter user Geekypastimes discovered that the ending date had been altered from June 2, to June 10. This would mean the change-over will occur at what is a regular time for new Call of Duty updates, in the evening of June 9 if you’re in the US, and in the morning of June 10 if you’re UK and Europe.

Activision and Infinity Ward announced on Twitter that the regularly scheduled next season would be delayed indefinitely on June 2. “Right now it’s time for those speaking up for inequality, justice and change to be seen and heard,” the message reads. “We stand alongside you.” It was expected to roll-out sometime June 3, containing several new weapons and maps, and a new operator. The Galil and Vector are believed to be headed to your arsenal, Scrapyard among the new locations, and one Captain Price to be a playable character.

In light of the current discussions about racial inequality, Infinity Ward has begun taking measures against racism in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s multiplayer and Warzone.
